Heater/De-icer Floating

The floating 120W pond de-icer is designed to help maintain a small ice-free opening on your pond surface during freezing weather, supporting healthy winter conditions by allowing trapped gases to vent. Rather than trying to heat the entire pond, this style of de-icer focuses energy where it matters most—at the surface—so your pond can keep its natural cold-water stratification while still providing crucial gas exchange.

Built for practical, worry-free winter operation, this unit uses a thermostatic control to cycle on only when conditions require it, helping reduce unnecessary run time and electricity use. The low-wattage design is intended to be energy efficient while still providing reliable surface opening performance in typical winter conditions (results can vary based on temperature, wind, and pond size).

Key benefits

• Supports gas release: Helps keep an opening in the ice so gases can escape.
• Energy-conscious operation: Designed to use only 120 watts and includes thermostatic control to limit heating time.
• Pond-liner friendly: Intended for use without harming flexible liners or pre-formed ponds.
• Sealed construction: Epoxy sealed with a double watertight seal for added protection.

For best performance, place the floating 120W pond de-icer in an area of the pond that is sheltered from heavy wind when possible, since wind can refreeze openings quickly. Always follow safe electrical practices, including the use of appropriate outdoor-rated connections and protection where required.

FAQ

Will this heat my entire pond? No. A floating 120W pond de-icer is typically used to maintain an opening at the surface rather than raise overall pond temperature.

Is it safe for liner ponds? It is designed to be safe for flexible liners and pre-formed ponds when used as directed.

When should I install it? Install before the pond fully freezes so it can maintain an opening more easily as temperatures drop.
